Update on 2000 C4 w/ big wheels

I had posted a couple of questions about a 2000 C4 that a local Volvo/Jag dealer has on the used car lot. Someone put 20 TSW wheels on it and the car has a bad shimmy from about 60 to 70 mph.
Update:
They just purchased a set of wheels/tires from a 2006. They are not on the car. They need the lug nuts. I know that the 2000 came with either the 17 or 18 inch wheels. These are 19 inch with:
R - 245/30-ZR19
F - 235/35-ZR19
Is this a good fit? Tires are nearly new P zero's.
TIA,
tsp

TS,
I have a C2 with (OEM sports wheels)
R - 265/30-ZR18 on 10" rim
F - 225/35-ZR18 on 8" rim
(pirelli assymetrico's)
I can tell you my 265 rears do not sit wide enough and leave a rim lip beyond the tire edge. Curb rashes big time and aesthetically not pleasing.. (rashes not from me of course, the prior owner - he he) I will be going 285's next.
My fronts sit about right, so I imagine those fronts are OK, but I would suggest a wider rear. Depends on rim width of course and assuming the 19”’s fitment to be similar in widths.
Good luck with the deal.

There is absolutely no way 245 rears fit on 997 stock 19" wheels. IIRC the 19" wheels are 11" wide and run 295 and 305 on the rear depending on C2/C4 or C4S.

I believe that the stock sizes on 18's are as follows
1999-2001: Front 225, Rear 265
2002-2004: Front 225, Rear 285
GT3: Front 235, Rears 295
